Battle Magic was released 1992 and Arcane Magic 1995 and Magic in 1996 see how they changed over time, same for the Orcs/ Elves. Each book naturally advertises other Books of it Publishing Era, remember some get re-released and its all down to availability of Ebay.

The fifth edition, released in 1996,(wiki) re-introduced the Bretonnian forces, which had been left out of the 4th edition, and re-worked the Slann heavily to create the Lizardmen armies.

So potentially yes I would love to be able to Purchase the Skaven 4th Edition Army Book (1993) instead of my later Skaven 1996 5th Edition (re-release with updates) but dependant on Ebay and sheer necessity, the Hunt Continues!

Everything Relates to my Original Warhammer Fantasy Battle Box Set 1996 and Shadow of Horned Rat 1995 and Dark Omen 1998 (although in Develepment from '95-'98) and all Dark Omen Undead stats are identical to my 4th Edition Undead book and I will confirm the rest.
+
I have also compared Shadow of the Horned Rat Stats and they are also 4th Edition (1992) Stats. I closely examined common Units to Dark Omen and SOTHR, such as Wood Elf Archers, Empire Greatswords, Treeman, Orc Boyz and Orc Biguns and they also share 4th Edition identical Stats. Now that I own both 4th Edition (1993) and 5th Edition (1996) Skaven Books, thier Stats don't alter from 4th to 5th editions either. Which is why they are grouped as 4th/5th as they share same stats but introduce new Magic (Magic Boxset 1996 5th Edition) and introduce new stuff, as well as Army Books for Lizardmen, Brettonians, Dogs of War and even Vampire Counts (1999),the last 5th Edition Book. If we ever want to add these ourselves, then the Books provide the perfect Stats lists for us.

I have also compared Shadow of the Horned Rat Stats and they are also 4th Edition (1992) Stats. I closely examined common Units to Dark Omen and SOTHR, such as Wood Elf Archers, Empire Greatswords, Treeman, Orc Boyz and Orc Biguns and they also share 4th Edition identical Stats. Now that I own both 4th Edition (1993) and 5th Edition (1996) Skaven Books, thier Stats don't alter from 4th to 5th editions either. Which is why they are grouped as 4th/5th as they share same stats but introduce new Magic (Magic Boxset 1996 5th Edition) and introduce new stuff, as well as Army Books for Lizardmen, Brettonians, Dogs of War and even Vampire Counts (1999),the last 5th Edition Book.
